The photographer's notes state: 'The lower walled kitchen garden and the east corner of the house from N.W. The well shed on right. In evening. Tulip tree (see No 295) on left'. [No 295 refers to the negative BB71/08716]

Frognal House is a large country house which was once the seat of the Viscounts Sydney. In 1917 it became the site of the new Queen’s Hospital (later Queen Mary’s Hospital), a centre for pioneering plastic surgery. The house was later used for many years as administrative offices but is now a retirement home.
